quail eggs ? advice please !

Day 14 they go into lockdown and day 18 they should hatch.

 

if there are any white birds do not be surprised if they get there on day 16

 

Quote:do you know how you get the white ones is it passed on or something
I bought a few eggs from a local breeder he did not have any whites only goldens and browns if they were chickens you would hear them referred to as brown split for white



and how do you sex the white ones ?

if you want to squeeze them a little at the base of the tail the males emit a "foam" I just wait until they either crow or lay an egg the boys get little blue zip ties for ankle bracelets


I have 2 white ones in with line that are about 6 weeks old don't they lay soon ?
mine have been laying at 5 1/2 weeks to 6 weeks. I am not sure if it helps but mine get purina starina (30% gamebird starter)

 

they can be hard to candle if it glows it goes the dark ones I just let develop my bobwhite eggs are so easy to candle
